We might face a scenario of removing a node from existing workflow manager(WFM) farm and add it back during troubleshooting with WFM farm or Service Bus(SB) farm.
- Apr 12, 2013 SQL Server Instance: i.e The Database server for the Workflow Manager databases. Configure Service account: a dedicated domain service account for work flow manager. Certificate Generation Key: similar to Passphrase in SharePoint a password for securing the workflow manager farm. This is required when workflow manager farm extended.
- May 06, 2016 Configure Workflow Manager For SharePoint 2013 prerequisites Make that the SharePoint farm is at least updated to March 2013 PU (the Service Pack 1 is recommended). Make sure that the App Management Service is configured and started.
Feb 26, 2020 For adding new Workflow Host or Service Bus Host, you will need to provide the same key. After setting certificate generation key, we need to configure ports for communication between workflow farm and SharePoint farm. Below are the ports we need to configure: Workflow Manager Management Port for HTTPS – Default port is 12290 for HTTPS. Type 'Workflow Manager Configuration' in the Search Box and click it. Open the Workflow Manager 1.0 Config Wizard and click on 'Using Custom Settings'. On Workflow Manager Configuration page, please provide the below information. In the 'Configure Farm Management Database' section, please enter the SQL Server Name and DB name.
In those scenarios, we might lose/forget the Certificate Generation key which is mandatory to be entered while we select the option of 'Join to an Existing Workflow Manager Farm'. We have also seen engineers rebuilding the farm considering this as a road blocker to join the node back to existing farm.
